A judge ruled 38-year-old mom of 6, Precious Bland, was not guilty by reason of insanity, for drowning her 15 month old daughter Emii and then stabbing her husband and teenage daughter. Bland chose a bench trial over a jury trial and there are now calls for the judge who made the ruling to be impeached. The prosecution maintained that Bland’s defense of Covid Psychosis was fabricated, that she was actually upset because she believed her husband was having an affair. We not only discuss this shocking case, but also go into several well documented cases of post covid psychosis which includes people suffering from paranoia, delusions and hallucinations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Judge Debra McCaslin has been vested with exclusive jurisdiction over the Alex Murdaugh retrial and all related proceedings. During her judicial confirmation before the South Carolina General Assembly, McCaslin reportedly identified Dick Harpootlian — Murdaugh's lead defense attorney — as one of three lawyers who shaped her legal career. She reportedly rented office space from him while in private practice. Neither the prosecution nor the defense has filed a motion to recuse.Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis provides analysis on the recusal standard, what McCaslin's appointment means for both the prosecution and the defense, and the pre-trial ruling that may carry more weight than any witness. The South Carolina Supreme Court's opinion ordering the retrial directed that financial crimes evidence be sharply curtailed. McCaslin will determine the scope of that limitation. Faddis explains why that single evidentiary ruling could effectively determine the outcome before opening statements begin — and what the State must prove without the motive architecture it relied upon in the first proceeding.Attorney Eric Bland, who constructed the financial fraud case prosecutors used as their motive theory and who represented the Satterfield family, examines the implications of the Supreme Court's characterization of specific victim testimony as having “zero probative value.” Bland addresses whether the prosecution exceeded the evidentiary limits the law permitted, what the ruling means for the families who testified, and the defense's six-hundred-thousand-dollar Section 1983 complaint against Becky Hill — which asserts recovered funds would benefit Murdaugh's financial crime victims, the individuals Bland represents.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson served as the Murdaugh family's housekeeper for approximately twenty years. She observed the defendant's operational pattern across that period: the consistent use of intermediaries in financial transactions, the delegation of exposure to associates, the construction of deniability through layered relationships. Curtis Eddie Smith's documented role — cashing approximately four hundred thirty-seven checks totaling roughly two point four million dollars — is one component of a broader infrastructure Simpson observed firsthand.Simpson presents a specific theory of the crime. She posits that the defendant maintained a Plan A involving another individual's presence at Moselle the night of the killings, and when that arrangement failed, executed the plan independently and constructed a post-hoc narrative implicating the boat crash families. Her basis is the defendant's documented behavioral history of using others as instruments. Simpson directly addresses the defense's third-party suspect strategy, arguing that the defendant's established pattern of operating through intermediaries makes a solely independent act inconsistent with his behavioral record.Attorney Eric Bland provides the retrial analysis. Bland constructed the financial fraud case prosecutors relied upon for their motive theory and represented the Satterfield family. The Supreme Court's ruling directs that financial crimes evidence be substantially curtailed at any retrial. Bland identifies what evidence survives, what does not, and whether the prosecution's case can sustain the loss. He addresses the defense's assertion of new DNA evidence and third-party culprit claims, the AG's consideration of capital charges and the defense's vindictive prosecution response, and the question of whether the defendant should testify again. Bland predicts a high probability of reconviction but acknowledges a meaningful possibility of a hung jury, and identifies the juror profile most likely to produce that outcome.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
For two decades, Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson watched Alex Murdaugh operate through other people. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed checks. Associates carried messages. Relationships provided cover. Deniability was built into every arrangement. Alex Murdaugh, according to the woman who knew the household better than anyone outside the family, never did anything alone. So when the defense walks into the retrial claiming “other suspects” committed the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, Blanca doesn't flinch. She has her own theory about other people — and it doesn't point away from Alex.Blanca believes Alex had a Plan A that involved someone else being at Moselle the night of the killings. When that arrangement fell apart, she says he executed it himself and constructed a story around the boat crash families. Her basis is twenty years of watching how this man solved problems: never with his own hands when someone else's would do. She confronts the defense's third-party strategy head-on and asks the question that should follow the defense into every courtroom session: if he never did anything alone before, why would this be the exception?Attorney Eric Bland adds the retrial dimension. He built the financial crimes case the prosecution leaned on as motive. The Supreme Court ordered that evidence sharply limited. Bland addresses what survives into the second trial, whether the prosecution overplayed what he helped expose, and what it means that the defense now has subpoena power for the first time. He predicts a high likelihood of reconviction but acknowledges a real chance of a hung jury — and identifies who the holdout juror is and what gets them there. The AG is floating the death penalty. Bland explains what that changes strategically and whether the defense's claim of vindictive prosecution has legal legs.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The first jury sat through more than twelve hours of financial crimes testimony. The South Carolina Supreme Court said that was excessive and ordered any retrial to sharply limit it. Now one judge — Debra McCaslin — decides where the line falls. That single ruling could shape the verdict before a witness takes the stand.McCaslin was given exclusive jurisdiction over every Murdaugh proceeding, including the retrial on charges that he killed his wife Maggie and son Paul. She reportedly rented office space from Dick Harpootlian, Murdaugh's lead defense attorney, and during her judicial confirmation reportedly named him as one of the lawyers who made an impression on her life. Neither side has moved to remove her. Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what that silence means, what real judicial favoritism looks like from the inside, and whether McCaslin's reportedly tough sentencing record — including life sentences and rulings that backed law enforcement — cuts for or against the defense.Attorney Eric Bland brings the other side of this fight. He built the financial crimes case prosecutors used as their motive theory. He represented the Satterfield family through the process and prepared them to testify. The Supreme Court called specific victim testimony “zero probative value.” Bland confronts what that means for the families who trusted the system to use their words properly. He also responds to the defense's six-hundred-thousand-dollar civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill, which claims any recovered funds go to Murdaugh's financial crime victims — the exact people Bland represents.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The defense team says other suspects committed these murders. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson — twenty years inside the Murdaugh household, a key prosecution witness at the first trial — agrees that other people were involved. And her agreement is the worst thing the defense could hear. Because Blanca isn't saying someone else did it. She's saying Alex always used someone else to do everything — and the murders fit the same pattern.Blanca's theory is specific. She believes Alex had a Plan A that involved another person being at Moselle the night Maggie and Paul were killed. When that plan fell apart, she says he executed it himself and built a story around the boat crash families. Her basis: two decades of watching how this man operated. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed four hundred thirty-seven checks. Relationships served as cover. Deniability was engineered into every arrangement. The question Blanca poses to the defense is the one that should follow them into every hearing: if Alex Murdaugh never did anything alone before, why would this be the one time he started?Attorney Eric Bland — the lawyer who built the financial fraud case the prosecution used as motive — adds the retrial calculus. The Supreme Court ordered financial crimes evidence sharply limited. The defense claims new DNA and third-party leads. The AG is considering the death penalty. Bland explains what survives into round two, whether Alex should take the stand again, why the kennel video may land differently with a jury saturated by three years of documentaries, and his own prediction: reconviction is likely, but a hung jury is possible. He describes the holdout juror — who they are and what gets them there. This is the retrial breakdown from the two people who know the inside of this case better than the lawyers trying it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The woman now overseeing Alex Murdaugh's retrial reportedly rented office space from his defense attorney and named him under oath as a lawyer who shaped her career. Judge Debra McCaslin was handed exclusive jurisdiction over every Murdaugh proceeding by the South Carolina Supreme Court — the same court that reversed his murder convictions and ordered a new trial in the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Nobody has filed a motion to remove her.Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether McCaslin's reported connection to Dick Harpootlian is a genuine problem or a headline, what her reportedly tough sentencing record tells us about how she'll run this courtroom, and the ruling that could matter more than any testimony. The Supreme Court said the first trial's financial crimes evidence went too far. McCaslin decides how far is too far the second time. That decision shapes what the next jury sees, what it never hears, and whether prosecutors can build a murder case without the motive theory they leaned on the first time.Attorney Eric Bland adds the perspective nobody else can. He built the financial fraud case. He represented the Satterfield family and watched his clients testify about what Murdaugh did to their lives. The Supreme Court said some of that testimony had “zero probative value.” Bland confronts what that language means for the people it was taken from. He also responds to Harpootlian's six-hundred-thousand-dollar civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill, which claims any recovered money goes to Murdaugh's financial crime victims. Bland represents those victims — and his take on whether that promise carries weight lands hard.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The defense says “other suspects.” Alex Murdaugh's own housekeeper of twenty years agrees there were other people in the picture — and her reading of it is the opposite of what the defense intends. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson believes Alex had a Plan A that involved another person being at Moselle the night Maggie and Paul were killed. When that plan collapsed, she says, he carried it out himself and built a narrative around the boat crash families to explain what happened.Blanca's theory comes from two decades of watching Alex use other people as instruments. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed four hundred thirty-seven checks. Enablers kept the financial machine running. Alex moved money through other people's hands and used relationships as cover. He built deniability into everything. Blanca says the murders fit the pattern, not the exception the defense needs them to be. She confronts the third-party culprit theory directly and explains why, based on twenty years inside that household, the idea that someone else did this without Alex doesn't match the man she knew.Attorney Eric Bland brings the strategic overlay. He built the financial fraud case prosecutors used as their motive theory and represented the victims. The Supreme Court ordered that evidence sharply curtailed at retrial. Bland explains what the prosecution keeps, what it loses, and whether the case can survive the cut. He addresses the defense's claim of new DNA evidence, whether Alex should testify again, why the kennel video may not hit the same jury the same way after three years of documentaries, and his prediction: high likelihood of reconviction, real possibility of a hung jury. He describes who the holdout juror is and what gets them there.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

During her path to the bench, Judge Debra McCaslin reportedly sat before state lawmakers and named the attorneys who shaped her legal career. One of three names she gave was Dick Harpootlian — Alex Murdaugh's lead defense lawyer. As a young attorney, she reportedly rented office space from him. Now she holds exclusive jurisdiction over every proceeding tied to the retrial on charges that Murdaugh killed his wife Maggie and son Paul.Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis examines both faces of this appointment. McCaslin's record reportedly includes life sentences for killers and rulings that sided with law enforcement when defense attorneys cried foul. For a defendant whose path to a new trial ran through claims that the system broke, that record cuts in a specific direction. Faddis explains what a judge's warmth toward one lawyer actually looks like in rulings, in tone, and in the close calls — and whether judges with friendly history sometimes overcorrect against the lawyer they know. The critical pre-trial question: how much of Murdaugh's financial crimes evidence the next jury hears.Attorney Eric Bland adds the dimension nobody else is discussing. He built the financial fraud case prosecutors leaned on as their motive theory. He represented the Satterfield family. The Supreme Court called specific victim testimony “zero probative value” and said the retrial must restrict the financial evidence the first jury absorbed for hours. Bland answers whether the prosecution overplayed his work, what the ruling means for the families he represents, and what Harpootlian's six-hundred-thousand-dollar civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill actually promises — and whether that promise means anything.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Fjällglim, fjällsippa och lappljung är några av midsommarblomstren vi tittar på i Abisko. Och så möter vi en ny sida av Carl von Linné. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Årets ljusaste Naturmorgon-lördag finns vår fältreporter Alexander Linder i midnattssolens Abisko tillsammans med Sofia Åström som är engagerad i Botaniska föreningen och jobbar på naturum i Abisko. De tittar närmare på växterna i som trivs i fjällmiljön här, som fjällsippa, fjällglim och lappljung. I år har blomningen varit ovanligt tidig, bland annat för lapsk alpros som redan blommat över på vissa håll. Fjällmiljön förändras i takt med klimatförändringarna, och arter klättrar högre upp på fjället när det blir varmare.Och ett uppdrag under morgonen i Abisko blir att välja ut några fjällblommor som skulle kunna passa i en nordlig midsommarbukett. Vi har även frågat Naturmorgons lyssnare hur midsommarbuketten ser ut just där de bor.I ett reportage från Mats Ottosson möter vi entomologen Ingemar Struwe som ägnat sju år åt att översätta Carl von Linnés okända storverk om Sveriges djurvärld, Fauna suecica, från latin till engelska. Linné blev känd som Blomsterkungen men på äldre dar fascinerades han allra mest av småkrypen. Ju mindre desto bättre!Och så blir det en tur till Grönland! Där har vi träffat fågelskådaren Martin Kviesgaard som är den första att ha sett 100 fågelarter på ön.Så här till midsommar tar sig jordgubbar in i programmet på flera sätt. Bland annat i veckans kråkvinkel, där Karin Gyllenklev läst på om skenfrukter, fruktförband och andra ganska krångliga botaniska begrepp. Och lyssnaren Erland Lundin hörde av sig och undrade vad det är för långsmala smådjur som kryper i hans jordgubbar. Entomolog Mikael Sörensson svarar.Programledare är Jenny Berntson Djurvall.Veckans naturfråga: Den vi söker har segel, vingar och köl i gult, men sitter ändå fast förankrad i marken. Rötterna har knölar som kan fixera kväve.I folkmun är arten döpt efter olika däggdjurs klor, medan det vedertagna svenska namnet klingar odontologiskt.Det vetenskapliga släktnamnet återfinns också i en klassisk ställning för meditation.Skicka ditt svar senast torsdag till naturmorgon@sverigesradio.se eller Naturmorgon, 359 30 Växjö. Glöm inte att skriva din postadress. Du har chans att vinna en röd termos, en fin tygkasse eller ett klassiskt tygmärke. Lycka till! Förra veckan frågade vi efter smultron. De tre som vann var: Mio Henschen Träger, Ljungsbro, Gun Hellström Dahlberg, Luleå och Lennart Gabrielsson, Fårösund. Grattis alla tre!

Internetstiftelsen gör mycket mer än att ansvara för den svenska toppdomänen. Bland annat genomför de en årlig undersökning som kartlägger svenska folkets internetvanor. I år har de gjort en extra undersökning om svenska folkets syn på åldersbegränsningar på sociala medier. Den här veckan gästas Bli säker-podden av Måns Jonasson, internetexpert på Internetstiftelsen. Han berättar om resultatet från den nämnda undersökningen. Internetstiftelsen kunde konstatera att nästan sex av tio föräldrar främst ser fördelar med en 15-årsgräns på sociala medier. Ungdomarna själva är mindre positivt inställda till ett sådant förbud. Undersökningen visar också att svenska internetanvändare är positiva till legitimeringskrav på sociala medier. Nästan sex av tio vuxna internetanvändare ser främst fördelar med ett sådant krav. Det kan jämföras med ynka 13 procent som främst ser nackdelar. I veckans podd pratar Måns och Nikka om resultaten och hur de kan tolkas. En stor fråga som kvarstår är om respondenterna har insett vilka konsekvenser som åldersbegränsningar och legitimeringskrav skulle medföra. Måns berättar avslutningsvis om vad som har hänt i Australien där åldersbegränsningarna redan är införda. De australiensiska ungdomarna har, föga förvånande, hittat sätt att kringgå begränsningarna. Avsnittet innehåller ett inslag ur Internetstiftelsens presentation av rapporten ”Åldersgränser på sociala medier” (CC BY 4.0). Se fullständiga shownotes på https://go.nikkasystems.com/podd356.
Every legal analyst in the country has an opinion on the Murdaugh retrial. Very few of them built the case the prosecution used. Eric Bland did. He exposed the financial crimes that became the state's motive theory, represented the victims who testified, and watched the Supreme Court tell prosecutors they overdid it. He also represents Sandy Smith in the Stephen Smith investigation — the cold case that SLED reopened because of the Murdaugh murders and that has produced zero arrests in eleven years.On True Crime Today, Bland answers the questions that haven't been asked on the cable panels. What would he tell Creighton Waters to keep and cut in a narrower financial crimes presentation? Is there anything in the financial discovery the defense could reframe? Has he seen the sealed Stephen Smith autopsy results? Is SLED waiting on the retrial to move? And the question underneath all of it — whether the Murdaugh retrial produces anything for the families who've been waiting the longest, or whether it just retraumatizes them again while Alex Murdaugh rolls the dice on a second jury.This is the full Eric Bland interview — the ruling, the retrial, and Stephen Smith. The attorney who connects all three.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nobody else in the Murdaugh case occupies Eric Bland's position. He's the attorney who built the financial crimes case that became the prosecution's motive theory. He represents the Satterfield family whose testimony the Supreme Court just called prejudicial. He represents Sandy Smith in the Stephen Smith investigation. And he's been inside this machinery since before the first trial began.In this full interview, Bland takes on the Supreme Court ruling, the retrial landscape, and the Stephen Smith cold case — in that order. He explains what the ruling actually cost his clients, whether the prosecution can still win with a thinner financial crimes presentation, and what Harpootlian means when he claims additional evidence. Then he turns to the case that nobody in the Murdaugh orbit wants to talk about — the nineteen-year-old found dead on a Hampton County road whose investigation SLED reopened because of the Murdaugh murders and then seemingly stalled.This is three conversations with one attorney who connects them all. The overturned conviction. The coming retrial. The unsolved homicide. And the question running underneath everything — whether the Murdaugh retrial opens doors that have been sealed for years, or whether it just generates more noise while the people who've been harmed the most keep waiting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Murdaugh retrial doesn't just affect Alex. It touches every case, every family, and every unresolved question connected to the Murdaugh name. Eric Bland represents the Satterfield sons whose testimony the Supreme Court dismissed. He represents Sandy Smith whose son's homicide investigation was reopened because of the Murdaugh murders. And he built the financial crimes case that prosecutors are now being told to scale back.In this full-length interview, Bland takes the long view. He covers the ruling — what it means for his clients and whether the court got it right. He covers the retrial — whether the state can win a narrower case, what the defense's new evidence might be, and why a hung jury is a real possibility. And he covers Stephen Smith — the sealed autopsy, the eleven-year wait, the fifty-thousand-dollar reward, and whether the retrial opens any legal mechanism for Sandy to access new discovery.This is the one interview that puts all of it together through the perspective of the attorney who's been inside the Murdaugh case from the financial crimes to the murder trial to the Stephen Smith investigation.

Eric Bland helped bring down Alex Murdaugh's financial empire. He represented the families Murdaugh stole from. He watched the prosecution turn his work into a motive theory that convicted Murdaugh of double murder. And then the Supreme Court overturned everything — and told prosecutors they'd gone too far with the very evidence Bland helped assemble.Now Bland is watching the retrial take shape from a position nobody else has. He knows the financial records. He knows what was presented and what was left out. He represents both the Satterfield family and Sandy Smith — the two families most directly affected by what the Murdaugh case uncovers next. And he has real concerns about what trial two produces for the people he represents.On Hidden Killers Live, Bland gives his fullest account yet of where things stand across all three fronts — the overturned conviction and what it did to his clients, the retrial and whether the state can win a narrower case, and Stephen Smith's eleven-year-old unsolved homicide that keeps intersecting with the Murdaugh name. This is the long-form conversation with the attorney who connects every piece.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Refocus - Pt. 3 - Pastor Mitchell Bland
Here's what we know. SLED reopened Stephen Smith's case in 2021 because of information found during the Murdaugh murder investigation. In 2023, SLED officially reclassified Stephen's death as a homicide. His body was exhumed. A second autopsy was performed. Those results are sealed. Kenny Kinsey — the prosecution's star forensic witness from the Murdaugh murder trial — is now independently investigating Stephen's death because he believes critical opportunities were missed in 2015. And still — no arrest. No suspect named. No charges.Eric Bland represents Sandy Smith and has a direct line into this investigation. On True Crime Today, he addresses whether SLED is deliberately holding back until the Murdaugh retrial plays out. He explains whether anyone from the prosecution's side has ever spoken to him about the overlap between these cases. And he gives Sandy's perspective on what another year of silence means for a mother who has been fighting since before anyone cared about the Murdaugh name.Bland also addresses the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement — and whether that legal resolution makes it harder or easier for Sandy to get answers about her son.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
SLED reopened Stephen Smith's case in 2021 because of something they found while investigating the Murdaugh murders. They've never said what it was. Eric Bland represents Sandy Smith and has been pushing for that answer since he took the case. He's also the attorney who represented the Satterfield sons and helped dismantle Murdaugh's financial empire. He sits at the intersection of both investigations — and he's watching the Murdaugh retrial create new discovery opportunities that could theoretically touch Stephen's case.In this interview, Bland addresses the sealed second autopsy results, Kenny Kinsey's independent investigation into Stephen's death, and the Murdaugh name appearing more than forty times in the original 2015 investigation. He explains what SLED would need to move from "active and ongoing" to an actual arrest. And he answers the hardest question in this case — whether someone with power in the Lowcountry is keeping the truth from surfacing, or whether the evidence genuinely isn't there yet.Eleven years. A homicide ruling. A fifty-thousand-dollar reward. And a mother who has been fighting alone for most of that time.

The Murdaugh name appeared more than forty times in the original investigation of Stephen Smith's death in 2015. Stephen was a former classmate of Buster Murdaugh. He was found dead on a road miles from the Murdaugh family's hunting property. When SLED reopened the case six years later, they said it was because of evidence found during the Murdaugh murder investigation. They never revealed what that evidence was.Eric Bland has said publicly that he has no evidence the Murdaugh family was directly involved in Stephen's death — but that they may have known something. That's a specific claim from the attorney who represents Sandy Smith, who helped expose Murdaugh's financial crimes, and who has relationships with investigators on both cases.In this interview, Bland addresses what that claim is based on. He talks about where the "powerful older individual" thread leads and why it hasn't produced an arrest. He explains what the sealed autopsy results mean and whether Sandy's legal team has seen them. And he tackles the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement — a legal outcome that resolved one set of claims while the underlying questions about Stephen's death remain completely unanswered.With the Murdaugh retrial potentially generating new discovery, this is the moment where Stephen Smith's case either moves forward or stays frozen. Bland tells us which one he expects.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Eric Bland has represented Sandy Smith since 2023 and has been publicly careful about what he shares regarding her son's unsolved death. But he's also dropped specific claims that suggest he knows more than he's saying. He told this show that the Murdaugh family may have known something about Stephen's death. He's hinted at relationships Stephen may have had with someone powerful. And he's been pressing SLED for information about what triggered the reopening of the case during the Murdaugh murder investigation.On Hidden Killers Live, Bland goes further than he has anywhere else. He addresses the sealed autopsy, the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement with Warner Bros., and whether SLED is waiting for the retrial to play out before making a move on Stephen's case. He also answers the question Sandy Smith has been living with for more than a decade — whether any mechanism exists for her to access new evidence or testimony that the retrial process might produce.This isn't a recap of what's publicly known about Stephen Smith. This is the family's attorney assessing whether the Murdaugh retrial opens a door that's been closed for eleven years — and whether anyone on the other side is willing to walk through it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution won the first trial in under three hours of jury deliberation. The second trial might not go the same way. The Supreme Court limited the financial crimes evidence. The defense has new evidence and subpoena power. The jury pool has spent three years watching documentaries and forming opinions. And the AG just complicated everything by putting the death penalty on the table.Eric Bland predicted a high likelihood of reconviction when the ruling came down. He also said something most legal commentators skipped — that there's a real possibility of a hung jury. One or two jurors who decide circumstantial evidence isn't enough. One or two who watched three years of Murdaugh content and came in with doubt baked in. That's all it takes.On True Crime Today, Bland explains what the prosecution should prioritize, whether the kennel video still hits the same after years of public dissection, and what Harpootlian might actually have when he says the defense has uncovered additional evidence. He also gives the most honest assessment you'll hear on whether Alex Murdaugh should take the stand again — from someone who watched him do it the first time and knows exactly what it cost him.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Strip away the twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony that dominated the first trial. Take out the emotional victim impact that the Supreme Court just called prejudicial. What's left is a circumstantial murder case built on a cell phone video and a lie about being at the kennels. Eric Bland says that might be enough. He also says it might not.Bland built the financial crimes case the prosecution leaned on. He knows which pieces were essential to motive and which were emotional padding. In this interview, he does something nobody's asked him to do on any other show — he walks through what he'd tell Creighton Waters to keep and what to cut if the prosecutor called him for advice.He also tackles the defense's escalating strategy. Harpootlian says they have new evidence. Griffin is pointing to unknown DNA under Maggie's fingernails. The AG has put the death penalty on the table and handed Harpootlian a vindictive prosecution argument on a platter. And Alex Murdaugh may or may not take the stand again.Bland has spent years in discovery on the financial side of this case. He knows what's in those records. The question nobody's asking is whether the defense can reframe anything Bland has seen.

Jim Griffin went on national television after the Supreme Court ruling and said the defense has evidence nobody's seen — including an unknown male DNA profile found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. He said it wasn't properly investigated. He said it changes the case. And now the defense walks into retrial with subpoena power and the ability to build a full third-party culprit strategy around it.Eric Bland has seen more of this case's financial discovery than almost anyone outside the AG's office. He's been watching the defense signal its strategy for weeks — the DNA claim, Harpootlian's argument that SLED had tunnel vision from night one, the push for a venue change and attorney-led jury selection. He knows what the prosecution has to work with now that the Supreme Court has limited the financial crimes presentation. And he's making a prediction that splits the difference: reconviction is likely, but a hung jury is possible.In this interview, Bland explains what makes the hung jury scenario real, whether the unknown DNA has the forensic weight to support an alternative suspect theory, and why Creighton Waters may be walking into a fundamentally harder case than the one he won. He also answers a question nobody else has put to him — whether anything in the financial records he's reviewed could be reframed by the defense in their favor.The lawyer who built the state's motive case gives his blueprint for trial two.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

During the appeal, Murdaugh's defense had limited tools. They could argue the record. They could point to Becky Hill. But they couldn't compel new documents or force new testimony. That's over. At retrial, Harpootlian and Griffin walk in with full subpoena power — and they've already signaled they intend to use it.Eric Bland has been in discovery on the financial side of this case for years. He's seen records the public hasn't. He knows what the prosecution relied on and what it left on the table. Now the defense gets access to that same landscape — and the ability to reframe it.In this interview, Bland assesses whether the prosecution can still win with a narrower financial crimes presentation, what the defense's unknown DNA evidence actually means in a courtroom, and whether Wilson's death penalty consideration helps or hurts the state's position. He gives his honest read on whether Alex Murdaugh should testify again — and explains why the hung jury scenario is more real than most commentators want to admit.This isn't a legal panel rehashing what we already know.

Attorney Eric Bland has a problem nobody else in the Alex Murdaugh case has. He built the financial crimes case that prosecutors turned into their motive theory — the argument that Murdaugh killed Maggie and Paul to generate sympathy and buy time as his financial empire collapsed. The jury bought it. The Supreme Court said the prosecution overdid it. And now Bland's clients — the Satterfield family, the financial crime victims who testified — are being told their time on the stand may have done more harm than good.The Supreme Court's twenty-nine-page ruling focused primarily on Becky Hill's jury interference. But tucked inside that opinion was guidance that could reshape the entire retrial. The justices said twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony was too much. They called out specific witnesses by name. They said some of that testimony had "obviously high potential for unfair prejudice."The questions he has to sit with are the ones nobody else in this case faces. Did Becky Hill actually change the outcome? Was the financial crimes evidence improper, or did the prosecution just present too much of it? Does Harpootlian's victory lap change the fact that Alex Murdaugh stole from vulnerable people and is still serving decades for it? And what does this ruling mean for the people Bland represents — the ones who already lived through the first trial?On True Crime Today, Bland gives his first long-form reaction to the ruling, the defense's civil rights lawsuit, and what happens next for the families caught in the middle.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions are gone — and the lawyer who built the financial crimes case the prosecution used as motive says the system just failed the people it was supposed to protect. Eric Bland represented the Satterfield sons. He helped expose the web of financial schemes that became the backbone of the state's argument for why Murdaugh killed his wife and son. The Supreme Court agreed that evidence was relevant to motive. Then the justices said prosecutors spent twelve and a half hours burying the jury in it — and that some of the most emotionally powerful testimony had no legal value at all.Bland sits in a position nobody else in this case occupies. He's not the prosecutor. He's not the defense. He's the attorney who handed the state its motive theory and then watched the court say the state got greedy with it. In this interview, he responds to the ruling with the kind of specificity only someone inside the case can provide. He takes on the Toal decision, the Becky Hill question, Harpootlian's "lone wolf" theory, and the defense's civil rights lawsuit that claims to benefit the very victims Bland represents.If you want to understand what this ruling actually cost — not in legal terms, but in human terms — this is the conversation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Becky Hill wanted to sell books. Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions are gone. And the financial crime victims who sat on that witness stand are now being told by the state's highest court that some of their testimony had "zero probative value." Eric Bland represented those victims. He's the attorney who exposed the financial schemes that prosecutors used as their entire theory of motive. And he's furious.The Supreme Court's ruling turned on Hill's conduct — the improper comments to jurors, the pressure to convict, the book deal that allegedly motivated her interference. Hill has since pleaded guilty to obstruction and perjury. She received probation. And now Murdaugh's defense team is suing her for six hundred thousand dollars under a federal civil rights statute, claiming any money recovered goes to the financial crime victims Bland represents.Bland wasn't consulted. He has questions about that promise. He also has questions about Harpootlian's "lone wolf" theory — the suggestion that Hill may not have acted alone in influencing the jury. That's not an idle question. If the defense can establish that someone else was involved, the entire first trial becomes even more radioactive — and the prosecution's job at retrial gets exponentially harder.This interview is with the lawyer who knows where the financial bodies are buried, who has watched this case from inside the machinery since the beginning, and who is now watching the court system tell his clients their suffering didn't count enough. That's a conversation worth hearing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Alex Murdaugh's double murder convictions in a unanimous ruling — then told prosecutors their use of financial crimes evidence went too far. Attorney Eric Bland built that financial crimes case. His clients were the ones on the witness stand. And the court just told them some of their testimony was legally worthless.Bland represented the Satterfield sons — the family of the Murdaugh housekeeper who died under suspicious circumstances and whose insurance payout Murdaugh stole. He helped unravel the financial empire that prosecutors argued drove Murdaugh to kill. Now the court has drawn a line around how much of that evidence can come back in at retrial, and Bland has to reckon with what that means for the families who already endured the first one.The questions are sharp. Did Becky Hill's comments actually move the needle with jurors? Is Harpootlian's civil rights lawsuit against Hill about accountability or about building a defense? Was this a legal correction or a gift to a convicted killer delivered on a technicality? Bland is the one person who can answer all of that from inside the case, not the sidelines.This is Eric Bland with no filter, on Hidden Killers Live.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Vallningar, hjärndimma och att inte riktigt känna igen sig själv. Lyssnarna delar med sig av sina erfarenheter av att själv vara i, eller nära någon som är i klimakteriet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Klimakteriet är sällan något som bara händer en person – det påverkar ofta hela livet runt omkring. I dagens program handlar det om din relation till klimakteriet, både om du själv är i det och om du står bredvid: som partner, vän, kollega, vuxet barn eller nära anhörig.Ibland märks det mest i det lilla: trötthet som aldrig släpper, kortare tålamod, en kropp som känns annorlunda, en natt med stökig sömn. Och för den som är nära kan det väcka frågor, eller kanske en vilja att förstå men inte riktigt veta hur man ska göra. Sex av tio kvinnor i Sverige i åldrarna 40–60 år rapporterade klimakteriesymtom under det senaste året. Bland de kvinnor som sökt vård upplevde mindre än hälften av kvinnor i åldrarna 40–44 år att de fått adekvat hjälp, berättar Folkhälsomyndigheten i en ny undersökning.Hur har klimakteriet ditt liv?

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk sits down with Luke Bland to explore one of the most inspiring transformation stories ever shared on the show. Luke's journey didn't begin with Ironmans, 100-mile races or marathon finish lines. It began with self-doubt, unhealthy habits, and a life that was heading in the wrong direction. Through a complete shift in mindset, environment, and personal standards, Luke transformed not only his body, but his entire identity. Together, Kirk and Luke unpack the decisions, challenges, and lessons that helped him go from struggling with direction and confidence to becoming an endurance athlete capable of extraordinary physical and mental feats. Luke shares how joining the Built To Last community became a turning point in his life, giving him the accountability, support, and belief he needed to start operating at a higher level. He opens up about the role sobriety played in his transformation, why discipline became his superpower, and how changing the story he told himself unlocked a completely different future. Throughout the conversation, Luke reflects on the experiences that shaped him, including completing his first marathon, crossing the finish line of an Ironman, and running 100 miles in under 24 hours. But more importantly, he explains why those achievements were simply the result of becoming a different person. This episode is packed with powerful lessons on resilience, personal growth, identity change, and the importance of surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to become better. In This Episode: Luke's journey from scaffolder to endurance athlete How joining Built To Last changed his trajectory The mindset shifts that transformed his life Why sobriety became a catalyst for growth Lessons learned from marathon running, Ironman and ultra-endurance events The importance of community, accountability and environment How changing your identity changes your results Why discipline matters more than motivation The role family plays in creating lasting success What Luke's biggest challenges taught him about resilience If you've ever felt stuck, doubted your potential, or wondered whether lasting change is possible, this conversation will show you exactly what's possible when you commit to becoming a better version of yourself.
